As you know LM has had a cold for the last few days. Monday when vacation was over and Supernanny came to watch LM I informed her that LM was getting over he cold so she could give her some Tylenol if she thought she needed it. We also talked about the fact that it was going to be 98 f-ing degrees outside that day and that they should play in the sprinklers if she and/or LM were overheating.
"But, she has a cold. She shouldn't get wet."
"Um, ok, well you can put her feet in then." - there's no use arguing with Supernanny about things that don't matter.
After this I told her that I would leave the air conditioner on low for her so that when they came back from playing outside it wouldn't be stifling in the apartment.
"Ok, but don't turn it on too high...she is sick, don't want her to get too cold"
Oh Supernanny, it's sooo cute that you think our air conditioner is capable of even cooling off the whole 1 room studio.....
"Oh don't worry, it doesn't work that well."
As a scientists I can assure you of this folks: Getting wet and/or hanging out in air conditioning will not make you sick, nor prolong sickness....I promise.
extreme or prolonged exposure to cold can lower your immune system slightly and make you more susceptible to germs, but I swear you will never get sick by going out in the rain.
If staying warm and dry kept you from getting sick, then how come Africa has so many nasty ass evil viruses? Hope my air conditioner isn't transmitting Ebola.
